Nowadays, the usage of internet is rapidly spreading. Advanced and breakthrough technology that are growing very fast in the new generations drives us to gain knowledge about it. Tony Blair, the former Prime Minister of the U.K. had once said, "If you don't see the internet as an opportunity, it will become a threat. In two or three year's time, the internet will become as commonplace in the office as the telephone." Likewise, in my point of view of the internet usage today, although everyone believes that using it is exceedingly useful, many lacks to perceive its dark side.

There are a great deal of things how the internet could be of use to one. One major reason why the internet is convenient is due to the fact that it saves time and money, and there are countless ways of how the internet could do this. One can save time due to the ease to research and find a variety of data, by connecting to people in their life, for example through e-mail or social networking websites and also by learning about events, such as current events, weather,and other news before it even hits the newspapers. Saving money which is, today, an essential aspect of surviving can also be done in many ways. For example, the ease of access to information which is another advantage of the internet service, make its cheaper to search for information online, rather than purchasing a book, which in fact may seem to be outdated. In today's post-modern era, this may as well show us that the internet is a highly used educational tool. There is merely any topic that can't be accessed over the internet. Another major advantage is the wide exposure to the world the internet provides one. The more the time spent on the internet, the greater their online and real world empathy,or ability to understand and relate to others and to things one may never have thought about before, almost just like an experience of traveling around the world. Furthermore, it gives one the ability to reach out to a large...

...The internet has a greater impact on people today than ever before. It has been a constant source of news, entertainment, and education for users around the world for more than twenty years. However, the most revolutionary of its technologies, social media, didn’t achieve mainstream popularity until about ten years ago. As a result of this new development, Facebook, Twitter, and similar services are becoming the most visited destinations on the internet. These websites allow users to quickly and easily share pictures, links, ideas and messages with other users; theoretically facilitating social interaction. But do these self-proclaimed social networking tools actually encourage healthy human interaction? The evidence suggests that they do. These services, through a combination of accessibility, simplicity, and intuitive design promote positive social behavior by encouraging interaction among friends, relatives and coworkers; facilitating communication between individuals, and fostering a profound sense of community.
What is social media?
According to Kaplan and Haenlein (2010), social media is “a group of Internet-based applications that build on the ideological and technological foundations of Web 2.0, and that allow the creation and exchange of User Generated Content” (p. 61). As a result of these...

...the internet effected are minds? What exactly is the internet? The internet is a global network made up of thousands of small networks which all lies in the technology branch. Imagine thousands or even millions of computers linked up sending messages and exchanging information to each other around the world. The Internet has made information available to computer users with just a simple click of the mouse but wait, Is it making us dumber? As in Mark Bauerlin’s essay, The Dumbest Generation,” I say I have to agree with his opinion on how the internet is making my generation less active because of how we are so addicted to technology. Look at us now, you usually don’t see people running around playing games or going for visits to peoples houses to say hello. They are usually stuck on the internet through their phones, computers, ipads, etc.
The phrase, "You click too much, read too little, and remember even less," is very true. When looking at the history of communication and how information and knowledge has been transferred and passed on through the ages, the internet has truly revolutionized everything beyond our ability to control it or ourselves. For example, I think that people specialize their knowledge and studies more than previous generations. It looks like we know less about things like government and politics because that is something that used to be one of the...

...The Impacts of the Internet on Teenager’s Social Development
Today’s Teenagers use technology more than ever. Most of them have Internet access, which they use to send and receive email, instant messages, live chat, and more. Rarely do they stop to think about how harmful the Internet can be, such as exposure to pornography, cyber-bullying, sexting (an act of sending sexually explicit materials), etc. However, the Internet has adverse affects on teenager’s social life, mental health and physical health.
The Internet has an adverse impact on the social life of teenagers. According to Brent Staples, “… the heavy use of the Net actually isolates younger socially connected people who are unwittingly allowing time online to replace face-to-face interaction with their families and friends” (1). This means that due to over usage of Internet, teenagers become isolated from communicating to family and friend. Today, due to popularity of social networking sites, teenagers are encouraged to post their profile on them because they want to be accepted by cyberspace peers. The profile helps them to meet and make friends with strangers. In turn, the stranger may be a predator who expose the teen to child pornography and encourage the teens to exchange pornography. In some...

Impact Of Internet On Modern Youth
The content of the current media culture is often blind to a young person’s cultural,economic and educational background. The concept of a media culture has evolvedowing to the increased volume, variety and importance of mediated signs and messagesand the interplay of interlaced meanings. In the world of young people, the media are saturated by popular culture and penetrate politics, the economy, leisuretime and education. At present, the global media culture is a pedagogic force that has the potential to exceed the achievements of institutionalized forms of education. As Henry Giroux puts it:“With the rise of new media technologies and the global reach of the highly concentrated culture industries, the scope and impact of the educational force of culture in shaping and refiguring all aspects of daily life appear unprecedented. Yet the current debates have generally ignored the powerful pedagogical influence of popular culture ,along with the implications it has for shaping curricula, questioning notions of high-status knowledge, and redefining the relationship between the culture of schooling and the cultures of everyday life.” 6The concept of media culture encompasses not simply symbolic combinations of immaterial signs or capricious currents of old and new meanings, but an...

...The Internet is a global system of interconnected computer networks[->0] that use the standard Internet protocol suite[->1] (TCP/IP) to serve several billion users worldwide. It is a network of networks that consists of millions of private, public, academic, business, and government networks, of local to global scope, that are linked by a broad array of electronic, wireless and optical networking technologies. The Internet carries an extensive range of information resources and services, such as the inter-linked hypertext[->2] documents of the World Wide Web[->3] (WWW), the infrastructure[->4] to support email, and peer-to-peer[->5] networks.
Most traditional communications media including telephone, music, film, and television are being reshaped or redefined by the Internet, giving birth to new services such as voice over Internet Protocol[->6] (VoIP) and Internet Protocol television[->7] (IPTV). Newspaper, book and other print publishing are adapting to website[->8] technology, or are reshaped into blogging[->9] and web feeds[->10]. The Internet has enabled and accelerated new forms of human interactions through instant messaging[->11], Internet forums, and social networking[->12]. Online shopping[->13] has boomed both for major retail outlets and small artisans[->14] and traders....

...The Internet has dramatically altered our lives over the past few decades. Although some of these changes have been negative, the overall effect of this technology has been positive.
What are your opinions on this?
The Internet is one of the most wonderful inventions of human beings. Through periods of ten years, every people on the Earth have been being influenced by the global network. In my view, I strongly believe that the main impact of this technology is very good although it still has some bad sides.
It is apparent that the Internet makes our lives better in some different ways. Firstly, this technology helps us to keep in touch with friends, colleagues, and relatives from anywhere. People around the world can speak face-to-face by just one click with almost free cost. Nowadays, we can follow every activity of others through some social networks, such as Facebook, Google Plus, and so on. Secondly, this is a marvelous tool for education. The Internet is a huge resource of knowledge of human beings from ancient to the modern time. With a computer connected to this network, we can learn everything which we want to know. For instance, my brother-in-law attended an economic analyzing course held by Harvard University from Vietnam through the Internet. Finally, it supports every work which we have to do. We can do our business conveniently if we...
